Kevin Steele up until the last day of his life. We track down each of the men who took part in the stabbing to find out: did officers also play a role?

NPR's Book of the Day - Maurice Vellekoop’s graphic memoir recounts his coming out to his religious family

Maurice Vellekoop's new graphic memoir, I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together, is named after the song Carol Burnett would close out her show with in the '60s and '70s. But it's also a reflection of some of the author-illustrator's most cherished childhood memories, going shopping in downtown Toronto with his mom. In today's episode, Vellekoop tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe how that relationship changed as he came to terms with his sexuality — something his religious mother did not accept — and how his father ended up surprising him later in life.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domain Name System

Behind almost every web page, email, and podcast is a system that translates addresses understandable to humans to something which can be understood by computers. 

The system is one of the foundations of the Internet, yet its origin was in a handmade list that was placed on a single computer. 

Unbeknownst to the creators of the system, it would eventually affect the fortunes of entire countries. 

Learn more about the Domain Name System, how it originated, and how it works, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Anita de Monte Laughs Last,’ Xochitl Gonzalez explores marriage, art and success

Raquel Toro, the protagonist of Xochitl Gonzalez's new novel, is working on her thesis about a minimalist sculptor when she discovers his all-but-forgotten wife, artist Anita de Monte, died after falling 33 stories from their apartment more than a decade prior. Based on the story of Cuban artist Ana Mendieta, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is an odyssey into ego, power and marriage in the art world. In today's episode, Gonzalez tells NPR's Scott Simon how fiction allowed her to expand on Mendieta's legacy, and why she didn't want to discredit the husband's own career along the way.
